It Starts with Abe

And the silly season begins! Yomiuri Giants catcher Shinnosuke Abe has met the service time requirements for domestic free agency.
MLB fans, don't get too excited - Abe can only move to other NPB teams.
The Giants have a policy of not negotiating with players who have
declared free agency, so we'll see what happens with him. My guess is
that he doesn't go anywhere.
